I don't think so as the OR2 reefbars are using the same leds I think , I use them because my tank is 30'' wide and 30'' deep and wanted to maintain the corals across the whole tank .I am always messing with lights trying to improve things to the extent im putting a couple of T5 blue+ on to see if they make a difference in colouration its all about personal choice but the OR2 are great for me and priced very reasonable as I have them on timers.

Hey congratulations on your awesome tank, being able to run leds only too. Do you think you need to add the T5 now?
I am actually thinking of running leds only and removing the T5 on my next tank. Want to simplify my lighting.

Hi Mike,
I have been trying to colour up a couple of corals for about 18months without success and in a post to another reefer he said to try T5 at the front and back but as I had no room i made a single T5 unit with a blue+ across the middle in btwn leds so it runs front to back 1/ 4' reef bar 2/ 2x orphek atlantics in series 3/ 4' reefbar 4/ single T5 . 5 / 1 x orphek atlantik + a radion pro in series I know its a lot of light but ihave full coverage all over the tank .The corals im trying to improve are a WD and a rainbow monster both frags but the WD was based out with little colour.Both have improved I have taken pics to monitor any progress.
